Is this the end for Mourinho?<\/strong>
\nMourinho has made it clear he will not resign – while Chelsea’s board delivered very public backing to their manager in early October.<\/p>\nSince then, however, Chelsea have barely improved and this comprehensive defeat comes on top of the acrimonious loss at West Ham United last weekend and the Capital One Cup exit against Stoke City on penalties in midweek.<\/p>\n
And Mourinho, normally so confident and upbeat, carried the air of a beaten man as he stood hands in pockets on the touchline in the closing seconds with defeat assured and Stamford Bridge emptying rapidly.<\/p>\n
Mourinho appeared distracted by opposite number Jurgen Klopp’s constant, animated dialogue with fourth official Lee Mason, seeming to question what would happen if he acted in a similar fashion.<\/p>\n
As ever, all things rest with owner Roman Abramovich at Chelsea, and while Chelsea’s supporters rallied to their manager’s cause as his name echoed around Stamford Bridge, this was another lame and uninspired performance from a team delivering relegation form rather than looking up the table.<\/p>\n
Now we must wait to see if this loss spells the end of Mourinho’s second coming at Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Klopp’s Liverpool get the message<\/strong>
\nThis was Jurgen Klopp’s first Premier League win as Liverpool manager – and the most compelling evidence so far that the manager who arrived in a blaze of near-hysteria following his sabbatical after leaving Borussia Dortmund is getting his message across.<\/p>\nLiverpool were undaunted by falling behind early on, kept pressing in the style their manager demands and in the end simply outran and outfought Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Klopp, as ever, was an animated figure on the touchline, not just encouraging his players but also delivering the most fearful verbal volleys in the direction of Nathaniel Clyne and James Milner, in particular, when they did not do as he demanded.<\/p>\n
When he arrived, Klopp announced that he wanted to turn “doubters into believers” at Liverpool – this result will have gone a long way towards achieving that aim.<\/p>\n
